As you can see, the base of my Love Heart plant is a really weird colour and has been for a little while now. It gets partial sun but never direct sunlight. Any ideas?

Looks like scarring. It’s common on hoyas. It can happen after edema when cells burst from too much water and the plant heals leaving scar tissue. Insect bites can also leave scarring.

Okay thank you for letting me know! Is there anything I can do or will it just take time to heal?

That’s the final version of the scar. It doesn’t go back to green.

Okay thanks :)

It will stay as a scar.
